General description

Mitochondria generate a potential across their membranes due to the activities of enzymes of the electron transport chain.[1] During apoptosis, collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) coincides with the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pores, leading to the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol, which in turn triggers other downstream events in the apoptotic cascade.[2][3]

Application

Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Kit has been used to measure mitochondrial membrane potential.[4][5]

Suitability

This kit is suitable for the detection of Mitochondrial Membrane Potential in mammalian cells and for screening apoptosis inhibitors and activators using microplate readers.

Principle

This kit utilizes JC-10, a superior alternative to JC-1, for determining the loss of the MMP in cells. Although JC-1 is widely used in many labs, its poor water solubility often results in precipitation in aqueous buffers when used at higher concentrations. At higher concentrations, JC-10 exhibits greater aqueous solubility than JC-1. Similar to JC-1, JC-10 is a cationic, lipophilic dye that is concentrated and forms reversible red-fluorescent JC-10 aggregates (λex = 540/λem = 590 nm) in the mitochondria of cells with a polarized mitochondrial membrane. In apoptotic cells, MMP collapse results in the failure to retain JC-10 in the mitochondria and a return of the dye to its monomeric, green fluorescent form (λex = 490/λem = 525 nm). This kit can be used for monitoring apoptosis and for screening apoptosis inhibitors and activators.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
